IT'S CURTAINS TEST DRIVE
1) CURTAINS UP
You’ve just woken up in a small dressing room, which is certainly not where you went to bed last night. Actually, do you even remember going to sleep…? Regardless, this isn't where you last were, and if you leave your room you’re going to find a lot of other people in the same state.
Go out and socialize! Most of these people may be strangers, but you’re gonna all have to get used to one another. And who knows? There may actually be a familiar face in the crowd.
2) THIS PETTY PACE
By now, you're acquainted with everybody here and you're sloooowlllyyyy growing bored. Bored enough to kill? Hopefully not. You'd better try to find something else to do. You can always go hang out with your castmates, or maybe try and whip something up in the kitchen! There’s also a music room to keep you busy! I sure hope you like music.
3) BREAK A LEG
Comedies are fun and all, but that’s not quite what we’re about here. You’ve all just been handed this week’s motive. What do you make of it? Is it one that might actually tempt you to kill, or did you get off lightly this time? Either way, maybe you’d better look around the room and see who else is having a rough time.
4) CURTAIN
It was bound to happen eventually. Someone is dead, and now it's time to go off and investigate. Were they close to you? Are you, perhaps, feeling guilty? Either way, it's probably best not to leave anyone alone right now.
5) CUE MUSIC
Feelings in a murder-opera can get pretty gosh darn intense. Sometimes you’ve just got to let it out. And hey, if you sing a song about whatever’s going on in your head, maybe someone will hear and come help you? Either way, this is a musical – there’s not really any reason not to sing.
[Mod Note: The song mechanic is meant to be fluid and simple. You do not have to produce your own song lyrics, nor are you required to use show tunes (although we do encourage it!). If you want to rewrite existing lyrics to fit the situation, go for it! Anything goes - if Mumford and Sons expresses your character’s current emotions, then break out the banjos. We want to keep the musical mechanic as fun and simple as we can to encourage our players to use it as much as they like.]
6) WILDCARD
Make up your own prompt!
Elphaba Thropp | Wicked (Act 2)
While she doesn't have her broom in hand, Elphaba does have her hat in place and is knocking on ever closed door.
"Fiyero? Fiyero are you in there?" She shouts, there's a rising fear in her chest the longer she searches.

This definitely isn't Oz anymore.
"So... who wants to try to break down a wall to get out of here?" She suggests.
She might be able to get something going, if nobody's going to flip out about a try at magic.

She's gonna frown at that green comment. "Also, I really don't think you have room to comment. You have purple hair."

"Yeah, and?" Mal's response is flippant. "Own what you are, or people try to use it against you."
no subject
"Use it against you?
Please. You're funny.
that's the least that they do."
no subject
"So what do they do?"
no subject
Not really sure that's what will happen if they try something with the wall.
"Drop a house on your sister and torture anyone else you love."
no subject
Mal looked.
"Well, that's gruesome."

Because he is tiny and not very strong.

[She may be green, but sense is something Raoul respects.]
We should construct a battering ram of some kind from the heavier...devices in the kitchen. They should prove sturdy enough.
